2007 saw a trip to the Baltics and a return to West Africa, finally completing the plan of making it from Dhaka to Dakar. Connections were generally better, although blogging or even checking emails in Mali was a big challenge. Still, in the other places I could upload a few photos and write about what …
Back with another review of my time in the sky in my latest jaunt off to South-East Asia. I have flown mostly on Air Asia over the last few years, they are almost always the cheapest airline around Asia and until the crash on the 28th of December last year, a safe airline to fly. …
Foto Friday featured a shot from Elmina, a small fishing town on the coast of Ghana. When I visited Elmina I did it in an afternoon from the bigger Cape Coast, a short tro-tro ride away. Tro-tros are the local transport, like a mini-van in some ways, packed to the hilt, not very comfortable but …
I was worrying about this post a bit. I was worrying that frankly I don’t remember much about my time in these two places, especially Boston. But then I remembered that Boston was the place where I stayed in the Bean Town Hostel, which in itself was an experience and a half of full cream …

Continuing on from the first part of my time in Inle Lake (CLICK HERE), the day continued after the Nan Ba Market where we were taken to see the rolling of cigars. Now, when one thinks about cigars one naturally thinks of Cuba and that part of the world, so I was surprised to think …
Well, I didn’t find this place in my guide book, but it seemed to fit what I needed and I found it online by chance. It had a nice website and it looked new and pretty clean, and it was both those things, although it wasn’t quite as I expected it. Still, Yangon may not …
